Roath Park Lake - Clean & Cleared

The water in Roath Park Lake has been lowered under controlled conditions to allow the vegetation around the sides of the lake to be cut back and the debris removed to ensure that it is a better environment for the public and wildfowl to enjoy.

Members of the Cardiff Marine Modellers Club worked with the council on Sunday to help with the clean up and approximately 150 black bags of waste were collected.

Nick Evans, Secretary for the Cardiff Marine Modellers Club, said: “I am pleased that the group could help the council with the clean up. Debris and broken fishing tackle does build up in the lake and now that it has been removed it will be better for all concerned.”

Councillor Nigel Howells, Executive Member for Sport, Leisure and Culture, said: “Roath Park Lake is the jewel in Cardiff’s crown and this is reflected by the work that we do there.”

He continued, “The clean up is usually an annual event however it was not carried out last year due to the de-silting of the lake. Now that the debris has been removed it will benefit the resident wildlife as well as all those that visit the lake and use it for their recreational activities.”

The lake was drained using a valve on the damn, the water then flowed down Roath Brook which eventually feeds into the Rumney River. Now that the waste has been removed, the valve will be shut and the lake will fill up naturally through the source, fed by the Nant Fawr stream.
